Events & Programs
✨AUTHOR VISIT: Tanya Boteju ✨
Terrier Books will have the honour to have a special visit of local BC author, Tanya Boteju!
Saturday, July 5, 10:30am-12pm
She will do a short reading of her new book, will sign some books and will be available to answer any questions (young/aspiring writers welcome!).
***
TANYA BOTEJU lives on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations (Vancouver, BC).
Part-time, she teaches English to clever and sassy young people. The rest of her time, she uses writing as an excuse to eat pastries.
Her debut novel, Kings, Queens, and In-Betweens, was named a Top Ten Indie Next Pick by the American Booksellers Association. Her second book, Bruised, was selected as a Gold Standard book by the Junior Library Guild.
Tanya’s latest YA novel, Messy Perfect, combines issues of faith, sexuality, and friendship, and her first middle grade nonfiction book, Allyship as Action, arrives in August 2025. Look for her first adult romcom in 2026! In both her teaching and writing, Tanya hopes she’s bending the universe even the tiniest bit toward justice. Visit her at tanyaboteju.com.

✨ BOOK CLUBS ✨
For now the Book Clubs are running on a rotation basis, every couple of months.
We have three different types of Book Clubs:
- TERRIER BOOK CLUB -
Will be our main, classic book club. The books chosen in this one will be mostly fiction. Perfect for those who like reading to escape reality !
- BOOK TO SCREEN BOOK CLUB -
Read the book & watch the movie/TV show OR watch first, and read next (like I do, most of the times).Whatever you choose, we'll talk and share what we like and didn't like in both. For all the cinephile out there!
- BOLD BOOK CLUB -
A book club for the open-minded. Talk and exchange in a safe space, without judgement. Yes, there will be books on sexuality, social justice or other hot topics!
